Does "aggregate sensors" support template sensors for meta area (interior)?

[bbigras]

I'm using template sensors to get the current temperature from my Zigbee thermostats in every room.

In a normal area (my bedroom), there are 3 temperature sensors (including the template one) and the aggregate includes the template one.

But for "interior", it doesn't seem to aggregate the template sensors.

I'm not sure how template sensors are assigned to rooms. The template sensors have the "Use device area" option enabled.

I don't seem to have any "magic" message in the "Home Assistant Core" logs.

Meta-areas like interior aggregate on the area's aggregate. So if the bedroom is aggregating the template sensor then interior is aggregating the bedroom aggregate.

If you mean you have a template sensor for "interior", that won't work, you can't add entities to meta-areas.

So if the bedroom is aggregating the template sensor then interior is aggregating the bedroom aggregate.

It doesn't seem to happen in my case. Should I open an issue?

Can you post a screenshot of your interior aggregates, with the part that shows the member entities. Also your aggregates configuration for interior please. Also the same for your bedroom aggregate.

like this?

interior

bedroom

Try changing the number of minimum sensors from 2 to 1

[bbigras]

Uh. With 1, Interior gets the aggregate from the bedroom.

Note that other rooms don't have temp aggregates since they only have 1 temp sensor per room.

I always run aggregates with 1 minimum because then you can just use them and later if you add more you don't need to change stuff.

BTW if your issue is solved, please mark the answer.

Gotcha, so for now, I should just aggregates with 1 minimum. Thanks!
